Russia's Floating Nuclear Plants Under Fire From Greens
slashdotmsiriv writes with a link to an International Business Times article about Russia's plan to build floating nuclear power plants (a subject we discussed some time ago). The project is getting a lot of flack over possible safety problems from green groups. "The first floating power plant will be named 'Academician Lomonosov.' Mikhail Lomonosov was an 18th- century Russian scientist who achieved worldwide acclaim for his work in chemistry and physics and was founder of Moscow's state university. Customers could include Russian state-controlled gas giant Gazprom, the northern region of Chukotka and countries from Namibia to Indonesia, according to industry sources."
Well fundamentally it's different because unlike the submarines the power plant cant launch missiles and torpedoes at you if you complain too much.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe

Sanity is a sandbox. I prefer the swings.
Just how many light years away is this gas giant, Gazprom?
Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power. -- Mussolini
Well, yes. The greens will not accept being murdered by anything as environmentally unfriendly as Polonium-210, thank you very much.
Ahh.. the good old days.. j/k

I think you can broaden your question to be "Has ANYTHING not taken flak from green groups?"
The Amish
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
Those damn Amish, what with their imprisoning animals and eating animal products.
-Vegan environmentalist
If moderation could change anything, it would be illegal.
Elements from Nature. Check.
Basic Nuclear Physics. Check.
Water. Check.
What's not to like? Uranium is all-natural.

Has ANYTHING Nuclear related not taken flak from green groups?
You've obviously never watched "Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster". Those Japanese hippies partying on the side of Mt. Fuji get damn near wiped out by Hedorah before Godzilla saves their grubby, unwashed, marijuana-reeking asses. By the end of the movie, they're so damn happy they've lived to smoke another joint that they'd probably OK the installation of a Chernobyl-style reactor right next to the free-love commune where they all live.

I love eating animal products, especially vegan environmentalists, the best meat is always from those fed with no animal byproducts ;)
